Black Meteors\u2019 coach, Ibrahim Tanko, voiced his deep frustration following his team\u2019s concession of two late goals in their opening match of 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) against Congo on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Despite securing a commanding 3-0 lead in the second half, the Black Meteors allowed their opponents to swiftly score two goals, dangerously close to equalizing the match.<\/p>\n
Tanko expressed his anger during the post-match interview, lamenting his players\u2019 inability to effectively manage the game and preserve their lead. \u201cI am incredibly furious with my players. How could we allow the match to slip away like this?\u201d he exclaimed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The coach emphasized that his players appeared to have forgotten the significance of the tournament, expressing disappointment in their lack of concentration during the closing stages of the game.<\/p>\n
Tanko highlighted the importance of improved focus and game management for the upcoming matches in the competition. \u201cWe will remind them of the objectives we must achieve and the significance of our presence here,\u201d he asserted, underlining the necessity of maintaining a strong mindset and discipline on the field.<\/p>\n
Despite his frustrations, Tanko acknowledged the positive aspects of his team\u2019s performance, particularly praising the wingers for their creativity displayed in the attacking phases of the game. \u201cI was pleased with the creativity demonstrated by our wingers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ghana, currently leading their group, is set to face Morocco on Tuesday in their second Group A match at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.<\/p>\n
